In regard to tho fteminolcs, we hare
commuted the* error of attempting to remote
them when their lands were not required
for agricultural purposes; when
they Were not in the way of the white inhabitants;
and when the greater portion
of their country was an unexplored wilderness,
of tho interior of which we are
as ignorant as of the interior of China.
We exhibit, in out present contest, the
first instance, perhaps, since the commencement
of authentic history, of a na.
t 9
tioa employing an army to explore a
country, (for we can do little mere than
explore it,) or attempting to remove a
hand of savages from one unexplored
wilderness to another.
As q soldier, it is my duly, I am aware,
not to comment upon the policy of the|
Government, to carry it out in accordance
with my instructions. I have endeavored
faithfully to do so; but the prospect
of terminating the war in any reason-,
able time is any thing but flattering. My|
decided opinion in, that unless immediate
emigration be abandoned, the war will
continue for years to conic, and at constantly
accumulating expense. Is it not
then well worthy the serious consideration
of an enlightened Government, whether,
even if the wilderness we arc traversing
could be inhabited by the white
man, (which is not the fact,) the object
we are contending for would be worth the
cost? I certainly do not think it would; indeed,
I do not consider the country south
of Chickasa Hatch worth the medicines
we shall -expend in driving the Indians
from it.
If I were permitted, and it is with great
diffidence I venture to make the suggestion,
I would allow them to remain, and
would assign them the country west of
the Kissimtnee, Okee, Choboc, and Panai
Okee, and east of Pease creek, south, to
the extreme of Florida. That would satisfy
them; and they might hold it on the
express condition that they should forfeit
their right to it, if they should either commit
depredations upon the white inhabitants
pass the boundaries assigned to them
without the written permission of the military
conimaudcr or agent.
By placing an agency, and authorizing
trading-houses on Charlotte's harbor, they
could be soon concentrctcd; and stationing
a competent military force there and
at Tampa Bay, they might be readily
controlled, and, if necesary, removed
from the country, should they become
troublesome, or Tail to fulfil their engagements.
I respectfully recommend the
measure to your consideration and that of
the President, as the only means of terminating,
immediately, a most disastrous
war, and leaving the troops disposiblc for
other service. 1 desire a decision as soon
?s your convenience will permit, as, by
the middle of April, at farthest, the
~ ? ./ ti'it IwlrtMV- %
? ? V w*
Should it be determined to remove the
Indians by force, and to continue the war
until they submit unconditionally, I desire
that the communication be confidential
nt Washington, in order that I may have
information of it before it can be communicated
by letter-writers to others; for
there can be but little doubt of their flying
to the swamps again and renewing the war,
should the decision be to remove them.
If it be determined that the Indians now
in Florida remain, it wonld be better that
those who arc at New Orleans and Charleston,
with the exception of one or two of
tneir chiefs, be sent to the West; their
force would bo divided and weakened, and
many of the relations of those sent West
might soon be induced to follow.
This communication will he delivered
to you by my aid-dt-camp, Lieut. Linnard,
a highly valuable officer, whom I earnestly
recommend to your favorable consideration
and attention.
I have the honor to he, most respectfully,
your obedient servant.

Secretary of War; Washington city.
Copy of ci letter from t\r Secretaay of
War to Maj. Gen. Ji:srp, dated
Department of War,
March 1, 1838.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication of the
17th of February, which was delivered to
me by your aid-dc-camp, Lieutenant Lit;-'
iiard. The subject of it is one of deep
interest, and I havo given to it the most1
diligent and respectful consideration. I
In the present stage of our relations'
with the Indians residing within the States
and Territories cast of the Mississippi,
including the Seminolcs, it is useless to,
recur to the principles and motives which
induced the Government to determine1
their-removal to the West. The nets of
the Executive, and the laws of Congress,
fivmcc U (JClCriMIIUlllUll ill \juity Ukiv Wiu
measure, am! it is to be regarded as the
settled policy of the country. In pursuance
of this policy, the treaty of Payne's
Landing was made with the Scminoles,
and the character of the officer employed
on the part of the Government, is a guaranty
of the perfectly fair manner in
"which that negotiation was conducted and
concluded. Whether the Government
ought not to have waited until the Seminolos
were pressed upon by the white population,
and their lands become necessary
to the agricultural wants of the community,
is not a question for the Executive
now to consider. The treaty lias
"been ratified, and is the law of the land,
iaml the constitutional duty of the President
requires that he should cause it to be
executed. I cannot, therefore, authorize
any arrangement with the Semlaoles by
which they will be per'tilled to remain,
or assign them any portion of the Terri-<
lory of Florida us their future residence, j
The Department indulged the hope,
that with the extensive means placed ut,
your disposal, the war, by a vigorous ef
fort, might be brought to a close this campaign.
If, however, you are of opiuinn
that, from the nature of the country, and
the character of the enemy, such a result
is impracticable, and that it is advisable
to make a temporary arrangement with
the Seminole*, by which the safety of the
settlements anu tnv posts will Ue secured
throughout the summer, you ore at liberty
to Jo so. In that event, you will esut- '
blish posts at Tampa, anil on the Eastern j
! Shore, and wherever else they are, in
your opinion, necessary to preserve the
peace of the country; and I would suggest
tho propriety of leaving Colonel
Zadock Taylor, of tho first Infantry, in
command of them. ' In moving north with
your forces, you may make similar arrangements
with the other bands. 1 deem
it however, of great importance that every
exertion should be made to chastise the
marauding Indians, who have commitud
depredations upon the inhabitants of the
people of Middle Florida. I beg you
will address yourself to Colonel James
Gadsden for information on this subject;
and you may, if you think proper, yield
to his suggestion of leaving a battalion
lor tho protcclion of ihc people in that
neighborhood. It is hoped, however,
that you will be able to put it out of the
power of these Indians to do any further
mischief. They ought to be captured or
destroyed. As soon as, iii your opinion,
it can be done with safety, you will reduce
your force of mounted men from
Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.
Very, respectfully,
Your most obedient servant,
J. R. POINSETT.

RAVAGES OF THE SMALL POX.
Below we give an authentic account of
the teriblc destruction of human life among
the North-western Indians, caused I y
that fearful scourge the Small Pox. The

manner Pratt <fc Chouteau f St. L??
is, Mo., sometime in April last forward
their steam boat St. Peters, laden wi'1*
supplies for their various trading ports on
the Missouri, and bound to Fort Union
about 2000 miles above St. Louis. The
steam boat was also freighted with the
annuity goods due from the Government
to various tribes on that river. When the
.boat reached the Black Snake hills about
100 miles above Fori Leavenworth, and up<?f
500 from St. Louis, a mulatto
board wn* taken sick with what
was supposed at the time to be Measles;
but when the boat arrived at the Council
Bluffs, it was discovered to be Small Pox,
Many of tivc Indian tribes had already had
communications with the boat, and bv
this it is supposed it was spread abroad in
the country.
Extract from a letter from Major Pitcher, dated
"St. Louis, Feb. 27, 1838.
"Sir: Having received authentic information
from the remote region of the Upper
Missouri, of a highly important ehai-nnlAv
I rlnnm it inv dnfir In nnmmnni.
I uukvi m. \?v\ in i ? in j Miivjr iv vwaiiiimtiicate
it without delay, though not entirely
applicable to my own agency, having, as
I conceive it does, a bearing opon Mr.
Harris's letter of the 11th ultimo.
44 It appenrs that the effects of the Small
Pox among most of the Indian tribes of
the Upper Missouri surpasses all former
scourges, and that the country through
which it has passed is literally depopulated,
and converted into one great graveyard.
The Mandans, consisting/>f 1,600
souls, had been reduced by the 1st of Or- j
tobcr last, to thirty-one persons. The
Gros Ventres, or Minetarees, a tribe
about one thousand strong, took the disease
a month later than their neighbors,
the Mandans. One half had perished,
and the disease was still raging. They
no doubt, shared the same fate Willi ihe I
Mandans. The Riearas, who had recent- j
ly joined the last named tribes, and nurn-j
bored about three thousand, wore most of
them out on a hunting excursion when the !
disease broke out among the Mandans.
and consequently received it s mething
later. One half of them had fallen, and
tlie disease was raging with unabated*fury,
| not more than one out of fifty recovering
from it. Most of those that survived subsequently
committed suicide, despairing,)
I suppose, at the loss of friends, and the
changes wrought by the disease in their
persons?some by shooting, i thers by
j stabbing, and some by throwing themselves
from high precipices along the Mis
| sotiri. The great hand of Assineboins, ;
, say 10,000 strong, and the Crrcs num-i
hcring about 3,000, have been almost an- 1
j nihilalcd; and, notwithstanding all the i
I precaution used by the gentlemen engaged
I in the trade of that remote region to pre!
vent it, the disease had reached the Blackfeet
of the Rocky Mountains; a hand of
1,000 lodges had been swept off, and the
disease was rapidly spreading among the!
different hands of that groat tribe numbering,
I think, about 00,000 souls. I
have no doubt but the prediction contained
in my letter of the '27th ultimo will be
fully realized, and all the Indians on the
Columbia river, as far the Pacific Ocean,
will share the fate of those before alluded

Useful Libraries for Public and Private
Schools, and for Families.?At early
at September, 1833, a distinguished
merchant in Albany called the attention
of the Board of Managers of the American
Sunday-school Union to the use
which might be made of our publications
in public schools; and i t May, 1837, a
southern gentleman laid bofwi * the 13 >ard
a file of upwards of foTty letters on this
subject, received by him in answer to a
circular letter' which he had sent abroad.
The substance of the circular was as
follows. That thef a?-e S0,9J0 p iblic
schools in the Unit*' dates, in w .tch arc
taught from Si,000,9 J to' 2.50J.O.H) children;
that the moral influence of these
schools is not generally s.ich as to promise
happy res a I is; thai the establishment of
small libraries of nigral ami religions |
book's, (such as are publishod bv the Ame- j
rican Sunday-school Union,) in such .f
these schools us might wish for them,
would contribute much to their improvement;
and the individuals to whom the
circular was addressed, would confer a
favor by expressing an opinion whether
there is any solid or sufficient objection
to the effort?
In his reply to this circular, President;
Olm, of Randolp-IMiicon College, Va., ,
says, 441 approve of the enterprise. It
will, if carried into effect, arouse the j
energies of millions both of parents and
children, and will attract additional attention
to the important subject of common
education.1'
Bishop M'llvaine, of Ohio, say9, 141
believe such libraries as you indicate
would be great bless'ngs to the schools,
and their neighborhoods, an.I I see no
important objection to tl.e plan.1'
Judge Dagett, of the Supreme Court
of Connecticut, says, 441 can sec no objection
to the proposed plan.11
Hon. Francis S. Key, of the District
of Columbia, says, * I think your scheme
for furnishing libraries to the common
schools a thing very desirable to accomplish.
Chancellor Walworth, of New York,
says, 44 I am impressed with the belief
that much good would result from having
a smaii and select library of moral and
religious hooks attached to each of our
rornmon schools."
Governor Vroom, of New Jersey, says,
' 1 think llie institution may profitably expend
a part of its funds in the manner
proposed.*'
Not a single letter expressed an opinion
adverse to the effort, and at the annual
meeting of the society in May last, a resolution
was introduced by B. W. Richards.
Esq., late mayor of the city of
Philadelphia, which was seconded by
Hon. Judge Potter, of the United States
Court for the District of North Carolina,
instructing the Doard t take early and efficient
measures to respond to the call
| thus made.
From among the four or fire hundred
1 publications of the society, one hundred
and twenty-one volumes were selected,
such as the movers of the plan seemed to
contemplate. They are generally entertaining
and instructive biographies; histories
of tlie manners and customs, rites
ami ceremonies, of various countries and
nations; and stories illustrating the great
principles ol social and personal duty,
sucli as truth, forgiveness, temperance,
humanity, honesty, obedience to parents,
I &c. Thev are simple in style, adapted
in matter and manner to the circumstances
of school children, and most salutary in
their influence on the order, prosperity,
and morals of society.
The Libraries are done up in uniform
binding?each voltm-c numbered to correspond
with its number on the catalogue,
and the lettering to he according to order
?C. S. L. for common school library, or
P, S. L. lor public school library, or F. L.
for family library, or C. L. for children's
library, &c. They are put up in a plain
case, with a lock and key, and all necessary
hangings. Upon the door the words
Sch 01 Library are painted, which may
he altered lo suit circumstances. On the
1 t* . 1 _ i _ . - _ _ I ....
insiue 01 ine tioor we paste a catalogue
sheet of the library, and furnish fifiy catalogues
besides, in which the design and
contents of each volume are concisely described.
These are for the use of teachers
nod pupils. The case is put in a box,
and so packed as 'o be safely transportable
to ary part of the country, and the
whole together is sold f??r tiiirty-tiikee
Dollars. When it reaches its destiny
lion, the case is removed Irom the outer
b"X, and is all ready to sust end in the
school-room, arranged f ?r immediate use.*
A sample of this library has been exhibited
to many gemlenu n, and the expression
of pleasure and satisfaction has been
uniform and unqualified.
Two Hundred and fifty sets only will be
prepared at present, and for several of
these we have orders. We suppose there
are several thousand school-districs in
the country, wh se inhabitants generally
will be glad to avail themselves of such
meuns of moral, social, atiib intellectual
improvement.
* These eases could bo made larger without any
material increase of expense, and thus furnish room
; for additional books, if desired; or they could bo
made einallor, at a corresponding reduction of price.

i tho cloctiun for Intend -i.t and VVardenB is ordered
on Monday ivcok, wilt vou permit mo to call the atI
tontioa of our citizens to a few facta calculated to
arouso thorn on a subject so important as this election
should he deemed.
First, thou, I presume I can assoari without fear
of contradiction, that our streets for tho last year,
have not had tho altontiou which our location requires;
and to dornonstrato this, I noed hut refer to
tiro condition of Church stroet, where tire water has
boon pormittod to lie for months, and that too, when
one day's work of a few hands would havo effectually
repaired it?thon that of West D Kulb, a stroet
of much travel, and from its ;>,e tsa it .".c.-t.on. is evi.
deutly entitled to some little benefit of the public
coders.
Other streots, too, I might namo, equally as important,
havo boon left without tho least work expended.
And last, though not least, that resting place
i for the doad, has been shamefully neglected, loft encumbered,
and overgrown, until to tri.voiso it has
becomes almost impossible. Are these not facts
then, which it becomes us, as immediately interested,
to consider ere we second our votes; lot "measures
not men" be our principle, for it is high time
that our streets should bo improved, and that too,
when funds are at hand to accumplish it.
Am I told that the want of funds is tho cause? If
60, then whore is the largo amount allowed to tho
town from taxes, fines and sales?echo answers where?
I make tlic^o hasty remarks prompted by 110 ill
feeling townrd any one of pn 6cnt incumbents, for
personally, I entertain for tlicni the highest rcspont,
all I aek is, that we select tlukc men to srrvc us, who
will do their duty witiiout fear or favor.

why the puny eiforts of the individual

it because he wishes to distinguish himsell
as a smart many and capable of doing a
little of every thing? Already this fact is
Known, ami wny pursue a mean course:
It is 10 be lamented, it is very much re
grctled, that these wite men were not living
in the times that tried men's souls?
they would not have permitted Charles
